The engine that ran on coal dust. Could a car really run on coal? In the 1920s, engineers experimented with engines fueled by pulverized coal dust instead of gasoline. The idea was cheap fuel during shortages, and amazingly, it worked. The dust mixed with air and ignited like liquid fuel. But the engines were messy, wore out fast, and filled cars with black smoke. The idea was abandoned, but it proved that engineers were willing to burn almost anything to keep engines alive. | Auto Viral

During fuel shortages, inventors tried engines that ran on powdered coal or magnesium dust. The particles were blown into combustion chambers and ignited, powering pistons like fuel vapor. While they technically worked, they clogged engines and created dangerous explosions. Still, they showed engineers would try to burn almost anything to keep cars moving. | Auto Viral
